Jean Piaget's theory helps me develop lesson plans that include more hands on activities for the kids in my classroom and around the classroom so they can explore in a rich, promoting, inviting, learning environment. Examples of hands on activities in my classroom are, sensory table, sensory bottles, puzzles, blocks, and art activities.

It helps us understand what is happening and occurring at the different ages-it helps us realize what developments occur at what ages. This then helps me create more hands on and interactive activities that will allow the children to better understand what they are learning. Some examples are sand play, art activities, play dough, and drawing.

This affects my work with toddlers because it reminds me that I need to step back and let them learn through experiencing it in a hands-on way. Instead of directing them through everything, just standing back and letting them go is actually the best way for them to learn. Hands on experiences for toddlers could be containers with scoops and maybe some dry oats. They can practice filling and emptying the containers and exploring spatial relationships. And it involves little to no direction from the teacher, just observation.

Piaget provides information on specific stages of cognitive development that can assist in planning activities and classroom environment by informing us that teachers need to provide concrete, ha da on materials that enables young children to learn through exploration and active learning.
We implement this information into our curriculum through learning trays.

They may not be able to make the same decisions that I make, therefore it is my responsibility to understand where the children are coming from in a cognitive perspective.

List some of the activities that involve concrete, hands-on experiences or active learning.

I have children do house roleplay often because they interact with different physical objects while interacting with other children at the same time.

Danielle

It helps children experience and figure things out for themselves.
Some examples are counting physical objects, building with various materials, mixing different liquids.

The way that this information helps me in working with children is to allow them to learn through their own experiences. It will help me let them participate hands-on as I observe them. Some hands on activities to help them learn are puzzles, blocks and memory game flash cards.

1.) Knowing the information provided through Piaget's research and theories allows teachers to have realistic expectations for children's levels of thinking and understanding at different developmental stages. It is important to understand and have appropriate expectations for the children you teach so that you can create learning materials that make sense for them and that are just challenging enough to build on and expand their current levels of thinking.
2.) Some examples of hands on learning activities that we have implemented in my classroom are building materials; scales with various weights for students to balance; magnifying glasses in our science center; and puzzles.

My program's philosophy is Piaget based,so we believe that children learn through play and hands on activities so that's what much of our curriculum is based on. We do cooking projects, have an emergent curriculum that follows the children's interests, and allow the children to learn by doing.

Maria Haslam

As a montessori teacher, the classroom is filled with sensorial materials-the red rods and color boxes and broad stair for the sight, the sound cylinders and the bells to stimulate and refine sound, the mystery bags for touch and sand paper letters and numerals-sight and touch and sound when the number or letter is repeated.

Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development suggests that children move through four different stages of mental development. His theory focuses not only on understanding how children acquire knowledge, but also on understanding the nature of intelligence. Jean Piaget developed his cognitive developmental theory based on the idea that children actively construct knowledge as they explore and manipulate the world around them. The concrete operational stage occurs from age 7 to age 11 and is characterized by the idea that children's reasoning becomes focused and logical. Hands on learning helps them learn through experience and interactively.

Ashley Williams

9/27/2018 02:26:26 pm

Jean Piaget theory stated that individuals learn by creating new knowledge through active experiences. These experiences are best understood when they are experienced at accurate stages in life. 0-2 years is learning though the scenes, 2-6 is pre-operational and is starting to understand the symbols in their environment, 7-12 concrete operational they can start to logic things out, 12-adulthood formal operation they can start to understand the consequences to their actions.

Our center is operates largely on Paiget's philosophy and the way we develop curriculum is with the intention to progress all lessons into a hands-on experience that cements introduced ideas into the actual, for instance when leaning about weather and focusing on the water cycle, after reading books that describe the transition of water instates across the anvironment, we might implement an activity where they load a conatiner with ice and suspend it above a second coatiner where theyve conatinned heated water. After the heated water vaporizes and risen, it condenses on the container with the ice and forms droplets that fall as rain might. They've touched the water in it's stages, possibly tasted it, seen it, and maybe heard it as it falls as drops. The idea becomes reality for them. Good stuff.

Aimee

Our center is very hands on, we love to guide children's learning where they are able to do the projects themselves and learn as they go. Learning through play is a great way for children to play and learn at the same time, they are exploring their imagination. Some of our activities include; magnifying glasses in the science area, scales and things to weigh in the math center, multiple different art activities where children can use foam paint, finger paint, ECT.

1: the information helps me because it says to not do everything for the child but to let them learn some stuff from experience with you helping if they need it
2:building blocks

Nataliya

Children learn by doing, not by watching TV or audio tapes. Learning by interaction and active doing things.

Drawing, puzzle solving, building blocks, and sharing stories with friends

Barbara

This is a great reminder in my school as we are a Montessori school and it is all hands on activities and works. We can give an outline for the art easel and they can paint it whatever colors that we set out for them. There are art projects that are child driven. There is a model, but we're not correcting where they put the things. There is a hide and seek activity and cards to help locate items.

Lucina Garay

11/14/2018 07:45:06 pm

It affect my work , because according to Piaget's theory of Cognitive Development Stages .Concrete activities are for kids 7 to 12 kids are able to solve Math problems.

Jesus Fuentes

11/16/2018 04:18:24 pm

this theory helps you understand how at each developmental stage children learn. they learn through constructive knowledge.

some learning experiences are role playing, memory games, measurements of solids and liquids.

Bonnie McRae

1. This information affects my work with children because it serves as a reminder of what is most important to focus on in a classroom environment. When working with my school-age children, I want to provide open-ended activities that will challenge them to create something or solve a problem hands-on. I also provide an abundance of materials for building, creating, and play so that children feel welcome to explore their own understanding of the world.
2. When a student in my after-school program comes to me saying he or she is bored or can't decide on an activity, I usually give them a challenge. I will suggest that he or she find a friend and build a replica of something famous out of legos or attempt to use the entire block set on a single structure.

How does this information affect your work with young children?

This information doesnt really affect my work with children as the children i work with are always doing something that is hands on, we dont use video or tvs in our center. Most kids get to much screen time at home.

List some of the activities that involve concrete, hands-on experiences or active learning.

We have alot of hands on materials for the children to use, One of their favorites is a marble maze that is in a square cube type thing and it makes them turn it and follow the arrows to get to the end. We also have magnetic shapes for them to build different things, We also do open ended art all the time and let the children explore with the materials available.

SHU-YEN LIN

12/1/2018 04:35:59 pm

It does not affect my work with children because some of the work that children do is hands on. The work that involves concrete, hands on experiences such as painting, building blocks, puzzle solving.

richard murphy

12/1/2018 06:14:29 pm

This is a great reminder to have even more hands on activities for our children. We have sand & water play. as well as many art activities painting, cutting, bead work.I need to bring more age appropriate activities for the youngest in our program.

William Opsahl Lister

12/11/2018 08:57:31 pm

It shows that it should be focused on hands on projects that allow the children to find their own knowledge through exploration. This will allow them to progress through the preoperational stage to the concrete operational stage. Some activities would be building, cutting, drawing, baking, measuring, puzzles, number games, felt boards, and dress up to name a few.

It helps us know what developments happen at what age and when a child starts to think more abstractly and can understand other points of views better. Our care uses hand on activities like melt beads, puzzles, measuring and many arts and crafts

isabella

How does this information affect your work with young children? this changes how you communicate with them, because when they are older you can assume they already have foundation knowledge however on the other hand while working with a younger child you are teaching them the foundational logic
List some of the activities that involve concrete, hands-on experiences or active learning. games that are hands on like cards help a lot with cognitive developing as well as strategic reasoning

Dawn

12/15/2018 09:38:08 pm

The Montessori philosophy is similar in working with the senses to learn at their own developmental stages. We use sound cylinders, textiles, tasting jars and sensory bins to name a few

Daniel Thongdara

12/16/2018 01:24:00 pm

This information is used in my classroom, helping the children to learn at the appropriate stage. The children in my care are in the pre-operational phase, and thus require concrete and stable materials with which to work to develop their understandings of the world. Some materials useful for this process include weighted matching cylinders, geometric solids hidden in a bag, and knobbed cylinders for practicing tripod grip.

Sierra Chadwick

12/16/2018 07:33:20 pm

This information affects how I work with young children because it helps show me the developmental stage their at and how they think at those different ages. It also changes how you communicate with them depending on their age because if they're they will understand and think the same way I do whereas the younger children think differently and understand things in a different way. It also helps me to be more hands on with the kids than I already am. Some concrete hands on activities in my classroom are, sensory table, playdough, foam dough, hands on items at the science table, puzzles, blocks, and art activities.

Nicole Weisenborn

Hands on learning helps them learn through experience. It shows where each child is at at their age.

Karin Kletter

12/20/2018 04:32:43 pm

1. Piaget's theory affects my work with young children because it help to understand where the child is developmentally based on their age. Communicating with the children is key and providing opportunities for hands-on learning.

2. Some hands-on learning activities in my class include sensory table; play-doh; puzzles; blocks' art; number games and science materials.

Sadiki Harrison

Pongsitorn

12/28/2018 09:36:28 pm

1. It helps us to understand the developmental stage in age group and how to support them to help them learn by exploring some objects or through some activities.

2. the lists would be red rod, playdough, blocks, cutting some vegetables or fruit, etc.

Sandra Jerde

12/29/2018 01:49:59 pm

1) How does this information affect your work with young children? It makes you more aware of their mental development and how to prepare the environment.

2) List some of the activities that involve concrete, hands-on experiences or active learning. Equal water into the same glasses, then pour one into a tall skinny glass and have them answer if there is more or same water. Share different quantities of items and have them tell you if it is same or not.

1)Piaget theory provides information on specific stages of cognitive development and suggest that children learn through hands on learning and that they learn more through experiences.
2)My classroom has hands on learning activities such as sand and water tables to use during writing to write letters, We have many puzzles , play dough, and dramatic play areas rather than just sitting an listing to the teacher doing worksheets ect.

Aleeah Hackett

12/30/2018 04:50:39 pm

Giving them more hands on opportunities and allowing them to explore more and hearing what they have to say.
Activities such as; Play dough or clay, puzzles and painting. Also including dramatic plat elements too.

Jamie Petersen

12/30/2018 08:49:15 pm

Young children are working to understand the world around them at all times. When children are actively engaged in their surroundings they are learning and drawing connections. In my work with young children we give them a variety of open ended materials with which they can experiment and test their theories. In my art studio w use sensory play with measuring cups and scooping tools and strainers that give children hands on experiences, as well as art projects with a variety of open ended tools, with which the children can experiment with different approaches and create a variety of visual outcomes.

Terrance

Jean Piaget's theory assisted me with a new way of developing lesson plans that include more hands on activities the students in my classroom and around the classroom. I want my students explore in a rich, promoting, inviting, learning environment.

Rishma Jenardhanan

12/30/2018 11:52:09 pm

Piagets theory explains that individuals learn only through personal experience hence instead of presenting them theoretically what to do just let them explore and learn with just some guidance
In our classroom we have different hands on experience like blocks,sea shells realistic materials like leafs to touch and feel experience,toys for the kids to match shapes sizes which we let them do and just guide they choose their own actvities each day and allowed to do with as mush low intervention as possible

Sami Wilmot

12/31/2018 10:48:28 am

Piaget offers that hands-on learning helps children learn through experience and make meaning of the world by investigating it.

At my site we do a lot of STEM activities that are hands-on as well as group games and team building.

Kassidy

1/3/2019 03:47:54 pm

Piaget offers that hands on learning help children learn through experience, and I completely agree. My children who write letters in rice, or play with my sensory bin, or perform more hands on activities do pick up on things more quickly. I even use plastic tweezers to pick up pompom balls and have them put them into a cup. I have them count or even tell me the color as well and they respond very well to the activity because it is fun.

Flevie Mashnitskiy

1/12/2019 01:52:06 pm

This information gave help me to understand more about kids, that they have development in each stage, and that we need to vary our activities depending on the level of the kid. One hands on learning that i have in my classroom is the sensory area where I put sand paper, and sand in the sensory table so that children will learn that there are different kinds of surfaces.

Piaget's information about young children helps me understand where specific age groups are at in processing logic. This also is able to give me specific ideas of activities that would help each age group or test where they are at.

Examples of hands on learning are using items like pom poms for counting, using sand to write a letter, or using physical movement in song.

Rosario Pantaleon

1. Piaget's theory reminds me to provide plenty of hands-on activities in my lesson plan and plenty of opportunities for free play and guided play in my daily schedule. It also encourages me to let children carry out tasks themselves rather than myself or other teachers doing everything for them.

2. Some examples of hands-on, active learning in my classroom are organized sensory activities, our block area, open-ended fine motor toys like Magna-tiles, and planned art activities.
